Baby Found In Attic Was Alive, Not Stillborn

PORT HOPE (WWJ/AP) – A new report from a forensic pathologist shows a baby who police say had been hidden in the attic of a Huron County home by the teenage mother was born alive and not stillborn as previously believed.

County Prosecutor Timothy Rutkowski said Wednesday the report shows the infant was alive for more than an hour and died of pneumonia caused by perinatal neglect.
